February 10, 2023 What's So Complicated About Hush Money, Spy Balloons, and Satanic Music
Pomerantz wrote a book saying he really wanted to prosecute Trump. Now Bragg seems like he might be resurrecting Trump's hush money case. But the prosecution could still be complicated.

February 03, 2023 Reforms to Policing is Complicated
Holding Police accountable for their actions is very complicated.
Changing right-wing conspiracy theorists' minds is complicated.
Staying active and healthy is complicated.

Asha and Renato discuss what prosecution of the people who beat Tyre Nichols so severely that he died from his injuries will probably look like. And why it's so hard to hold police accountable.

Video footage from the attack on Paul Pelosi was just released. The truth doesn't look anything like what the conspiracy theorists believe.

Plus, Renato comes clean about his oatmeal habit.
